About this title

Synopsis

Eleven revised essays from an international conference held at
the University of Antwerp in 2002, discuss the ways in which
mnemonic devices were used in the literature of the medieval
period. Historians and historical linguists look at how
information was encoded in texts, designed to be retrieved by the
reader, the role of mnemonic devices in literary creation and
strategies for easing the reception and retention of textual
content, drawing on French, Dutch and English examples. In this
way they also presnet new insights into the content, composition,
style, presentation and illustrations of texts. English and
French papers.
